Hi all out there. This is my first time on here, hopefully not my last. I am hoping someone can answer the question as below, or can point me in the right place on the forums, to find the information I will need to solve the problems there are with the machine. This is NOT my laptop, I am just looking at it for someone else (never a good idea I know!!), as I thought I knew a reasonable amount about computers. Jump to LifeBook B Series - Known Windows XP Home/Professional. - If you have your Drivers and Applications CD or the Windows XP. The person who owns the laptop is on benefits and has very little money. The purchase date is not known. The Hard Disk failed and so I installed a new one in the Laptop. However, I am unable to re-install Windows XP! I have formatted and initialised the Hard Disk and partitioned it into two. I have resorted to downloading the start XP from floppy disks (three times on two different computers!) direct from Microsoft. It downloads onto 6 Floppies (remember them, so slow!!). XP starts to load and takes the first 5 disks, ok. Disk 6 starts to load and then gives the BSOD! I have tried every trick & scrap of knowledge I have (which I thought was a fair bit having used computers since 1986 & DOS 3. I also wrote my thesis on computers at university). Do any others out there have any other information or advice or anything which will advance the position from here. Also, just this morning the machine will not start at all, it now just gives four (4) beeps and switches off, & will do nothing else. Hoping you can help, ASAP. Thanking You in advance & Regards John Bates BSc (Hons). Hello Mawgwr The Microsoft Answers community is supported by users such as you and Zilo. No one here gets paid.

As for your issue, installing Windows XP is not your biggest problem at the moment, the system not booting up and giving beep codes is. This is an indication that the hardware has possibly failed in some way. I have found some information regarding beep codes for your system. However, of the listed codes found only 1 seems to fit as you have described. 1 long beep and 3 short beeps. Boy golden movie 2013 torrent.
